    Chicken shwarma bowl
    Selene S.

    Visited this spot on a Thursday evening and there was no line. They have parking in the back. Staff was friendly at the counter and provided free bottles of water. There's plenty of seating inside. I ordered the chicken shwarma bowl to go. It's a good portion for $11.99. There's a credit card fee that I didn't see a sign for, and their receipt doesn't have a line item breakdown. Taste wise though, it was filling and savory. They could've drizzled more of the sauce.

    Was in the area and decided to try this Mediterranean place out since I haven't eaten it in a while. There is small parking lot behind the building so parking is not hard on weekdays. They have plenty of seating inside and also a few tables outside which is nice. I ended up ordering the Chicken Shawerma bowl ($11.99?). The employees were friendly and they even give a free bottle of water. I ordered it to-go since I brought my dog with me. When it ready, the employee was super nice and brought it outside! Great service! The bowl is one size only and had a pretty decent sized portion for the price. There is good proportion of chicken and the rice and lettuce. My only small complaint is there wasn't much sauce so it wasn't as flavorful after mixing it together. As for the taste, it is pretty good but I have tasted better chicken shawerma at another spot where it was just more flavorful. But this place is still pretty good and seems authentic. I think it would have tasted better with more sauce. I would recommend this spot if you're looking for Mediterranean food nearby. They have lots of options to choose from.

    I got the combination platter and it was delicious! The gentleman who helped me at the counter was so kind and gave me a complimentary water and salad while I waited. Food was 10/10, I really recommend this place.

    I have been to Mediterranean Grill several times. Then the Eaton fires. And mudslides. Finally swing by for a quick lunch. I had forgotten how warm and hospitable this place is AND how tasty. The owner gave me a plate of salad "while I waited" for my salmon plate. The salmon was delicious. So was the tabouli which I asked for in lieu of rice. I offered to pay extra. Instead he gave me a cucumber/tomato salad while I waited and tabouli. A friendly place with a warm heart. Located on Hill street near Pasadena City College one might overlook it due to its spartan layout. The ambience says "student". The food and hospitality say so much more. A gem.

    I dont usually leave reviews for places but this is my first time at this establishment and it most definitely will NOT be my last. The customer service is absolutely beyond what I expected they make you feel very welcomed and that is hard to find in a business nowadays. Amazing customer service, the cleanliness is an added plus, and the food quality is excellent. Fresh and tasty!! Please do not hesitate to pay this establishment a visit it's absolutely worth it!!

    Trout platter with just salad!!

    Very delicious! I had the trout platter over just salad & it was very tasty! I recommend this restaurant!

    Greatttttt service and really nice owner! Best Med. Food in the 626. Sad to have found some sort of bee but I assume it's from the citruses or something?

    Cucumber salad

    The staff was so kind and accommodating! Ed went out of his way to make sure I was taken care. The food was EXCELLENT and the kindness was overwhelming! The restart is clean, the service is fast and they made me feel like family! This is how people and businesses make life long customers. Thank you so very much for the wonderful experience!

It was inedible so I had to toss it. I realized it after I got home. The beef kabobs were so thin and small, not worth the price anymore. This place used to be known for having long lines (but it moves fast) but not anymore and I can see why. I get a feeling they are not interested in keeping the place open for much too long. It's bittersweet since I live in the area and it used to be one of my go to places.

My first impression was how friendly everyone is, both employees and customers. I also noticed the aroma of mesquite smoke, which is a principle difference between their food and many others that use gas grills. The wonderful lady at the counter welcomed me and suggested the split kabob plate with half each beef and chicken. She also gave me the lunch and dinner menus to peruse. I grabbed a table and didn't wait long before my order was ready. Lots of rice pilaf, hummus, and tabouli. Additionally, there was a portion of garlic sauce. The portion of meat was equally impressive. I was still afflicted with recent dental work so I had to eat slowly and carefully. Their food is very crushable if not for that. They also quarter the pita bread which allows easier dipping or making mini wraps. Anyhow, I'm sure I'll be back sooner than later to try the Lula (aka koubideh), lamb, and other unique house specials. The essence of wood smoke is especially good, so that's a high mark. 4.5 overall My only criticisms are the rice could have been warmer, and the sauce more garlicky.
